Making the Switch: Media to PR
A panel discussion about the path from media to PR professional.
Join our panel of PR pros who previously worked in traditional and crypto media roles.
We'll talk about the pros/cons/challenges/rewards of moving into PR, what media and PR pros actually have in common, building your brand as a PR person, the taboo around "joining the dark side" and practical tips and resources for making the switch (as well as for expanding your business/getting new work once you're there).
Panelists
Ashley Stanhope, Founder & CEO of Hardfork Media
Saul Hudson, CEO of Angle42
Wahid Pessarlay, Account Manager at INPUT Global
Moderated by Olivia Capozzalo, head of media strategy at Conquista PR and senior editor at The Defiant (Olivia is also a 2025 ACJR board member).
